Looking for something rewarding to do during the duration of the COVID 19 Pandemic? Consider beginning a training program for you and your Golden Retriever! Goldens are versatile and have potential in a number of performance areas. And connecting with your dog in goal oriented fun activities promote a renewed sense of well being, relaxation, and resilience. Even if you prefer not to compete the benefits of performance training are significant for both golden and owner! Check out the list below for descriptions of AKC activities offered:
